[b]Marlin walked out of Vesta's farm, sweat dripping down his face. 'I could visit Dani.' He thought. It wouldn't hurt that much just to see her. Walking over to the shop, he creaked open the door.[/b]

Jake looked down for a second and than looked up at Dani. He sat her down, and, before she could say anything, he pulled a chain with a ring on it from around his neck. Kneeling down, he looked up at Dani and took the ring off the chain. He opened his mouth to speak...

Marlin walked over to the beach. The sky was a dark purple, and stars were spilled out on it's blanket. He reached down and picked up some sand in his hand, watching it as it slipped out of his grasp. "Just like how Dani ran away from me..." He murmured. Out of frustration, he chucked the rest into the roaring ocean. "Do you want me to be in pain?!" He cried out to the sky. "Is it my fate to be hated?!"

Marlin fell to his knees, and felt a cool palm rest upon his shoulder. Looking up, he saw Gustafa staring at him with a face full of sympathy. "Your day shall soon come." Gustafa's smooth voice spoke as he took Marlin's hand and led him back to his hut.
